4. Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks

In a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack, cybercriminals intercept and manipulate communication between two parties without their knowledge. This attack can compromise sensitive information like login credentials or personal data. MitM attacks often occur on unsecured Wi-Fi networks, making them particularly risky for remote workers.

To protect against MitM attacks, always use encrypted connections (like HTTPS) and avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi without a virtual private network (VPN). Multi-factor authentication (MFA) can add another layer of security, making it more difficult for attackers to access sensitive accounts.
